University Games: UB Vice-Chancellor Walks out on Fame Ndongo, decries
favouritism.
The All University Games just ended last Saturday, April 30, but not
without some drama. Cameroonians who were part of the sporting
jamboree may never forget what happened at the football pitch prior to
the finals of men's football match, pitting the University of Buea
(UB) against that of Yaoundé I.
The match that started with a lot of controversy and rules bending to
favour the Yaounde team saw UB Vice Chancellor, Nalova Lyonga, so
repulsed that uncharacteristic of her, she openly snubbed Fame Ndongo,
Minister of Higher Education.
The drama was ignited by players of the Yaounde University team
deliberate effort to stay away from the pitch while the Buea team sat
there waiting for hours. The Yaounde team actually walked in two hours
late. When the team from Yaoundé I finally showed up, players and
officials of Buea insisted the game was over and that they were
winners by forfeiture according to the rules.
The Buea delegation, led by Nalova, insisted the game was over, that
the rule be applied and their team declared winners. Nalova, said she
would not want her team to step an inch back into the pitch any more –
she told them to leave the pitch for as per the rules they have won.
All attempt to get the Vice-Chancellor changed her mind failed. She
visibly walk off Fame Ndongo who was trying to plead. The UB players
finally yielded to the Minister and his cronies and got into the field
without the blessings of Nalova Lyonga. Yaounde finally won through
penalties.
At the end of the day, a visibly angry Vice Chancellor declared that
she wasn't happy with the outcome of the games. "They organized the
University Games for students to bring out their talents but "people"
come and impose rules." She quipped.
